The Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes will try to get the monkey off their back this Sunday. I don’t mean winning a championship. They’ve already achieved that, passing the NFL’s ultimate February test in 2020.
No, I’m talking about beating Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals. Since December 2021, Cincinnati has unequivocally had the Chiefs’ number, beating them on three consecutive occasions. In Mahomes’ already illustrious career, en route to a likely second MVP award, the Bengals are the first team to beat Mahomes three times (including in the playoffs).
